Job description

This is a remote position.

STARTING AUGUST 2025 - An exciting opportunity for an experienced, professional and enthusiastic sailing couple team to run this beautiful, new Oyster 595 as a Captain and Deck/Cook. This adventurous owning couple are planning to circumnavigate on the Oyster World Rally 2026 and they need a great, like-minded crew to help them achieve and enjoy reaching this goal together.   The contract end date would be April 2027.

The new crew would ideally join from late commissioning stages to help prepare, to get to know the yacht thoroughly including sea trials prior to handover.  The yacht is signed up for the ARC 2025 with owners and sailor friends on board and then straight onto the Oyster World Rally which starts in Antigua January 2026.

These owners will be an active part of the crew, not passengers. They are used to owning smaller boats, are comfortable coastal sailors with aspirations to achieve the Yachtmaster Offshore certification next year. They also enjoy learning from skilled Captains and crews so will benefit from an experienced crew.  As the Oyster World Rally is a 16 month, 25,000 nm voyage, there are times when this owning couple may like the boat to themselves so plans to give crew time off while they sail with friends is also part of the plan. 

For detailed information on this and other positions, please contact Charlie - crew@oysteryachts.com
